Washington, June 10. Without
revealing any confidence I am able
specifically to e"nfirui, with impor
tant addition., information re
cently received. Butler and other
Populists have arranged a program
with the Republicans, or a part of
them, about as follows : Guthrie
to take Russell's place as head of
the" joipt ticket; vacancies in the
Republican State ticket to be filled
to suit the IVpuIiiits, and possibly
other changes to be maJo ; the Re
publicans to support the Teller
electoral tisket to be nominated by
the Silver party at St. Louis. One
of the McKinley delegates, at
least, from North Carolina will
walk out ol ins convention, it 13
said by a man who says ho knows
the programme that nearly all the
Republicans are expected to vote
this mongrel concern, thus abdi
eating Republicanism but enter.
taining lively hopes of spoils to
come when Teller is Presidei t
The latter event is expected either
by a landslide this fall or coercion
of Democrats into voting for Teller
iu the patent Congress if the elec
tion goes into the House of Repre
sentatives through failuro of the
people to elect in November.
The schemers, Butler and Russell,
who made the arrangement last
week, rely on a solid negro vote
except a few educated ones. They
also rely on the gold Democrats
voting for McKinley in preference
io the regular Democratic nominee.
The roseate t-cbedule was Uutler's,
into which Pritchcrd and RasseU
are forced by the silver Democratic
boom. It is the second or reserved
card of the foxy Sampsonian,
played after his preferred move of
absorbing the silver Democracy had
failed. Butler is road with the
true Democrats. IIo would rather
associate with Democrats than with
Republicans but is bound to accept
Republican companionship if
Democratic championship is spurn
ed. Seeing what the Democrats uro
going to do at Raieigh and Chicago,
he turns to bis former allies. They,
fearing like Butler fears, tbe silver
movement in the Democratic party,
are willing to hush their reproaches
and rush with tears of reconcilia
tion into the arms of "Mary Ann."
Thejbest opinion here is that
Boies will be the nominee at Chi
cago. As Senator Berry aud others
say, the Democrats will not go out
side the party for a nominee. Char

The Standahd on Tnesday noted
Peter Fink's incarceration, but
Peter's adventure is a little) out cf
the usual order of every day life
aud may not be uninteresting.
The said Peter was visiting Mr.
Frank Talbirt Ist Sunday. A wagon
came along and it seems that Pete
has an eye to business in certain!
lintB. After tbe wagon had paseed
by Pete fuizod up that wagon and
forthwith felt an acbiDg yoid that
might be filled from taid wagon. He
prodded along wistfully after that
wagon foi about three miles to Mrs.
Bey, P B C Smith's, "here he ap
plied for a mule to go and get some
whiskey for Mr. George T Boat, who,
he 8.nl, wat sick and in great need
of whiskey, Of course the' good
lady let him havu tbe mule. He
soou overtook the blockader, whom
ho informed that Dick Harris was
aluijst upon him. Mr. Blockader
left tho road aud went into hiding.
Pete was quite helpful in bis dis
interested way aud ihe whiokey
Uii'i could d ) no less than
furnish Pete with "red eye-"
enough that to get on a good
"bender." ,1'ete felt (pine exbil
eraf,e'd and ripe for some variety to
life's humdrum monotony. So he
fell upon tbe idea of whipping his
tvife. Naturally enough though
sh did not relish such spice to
nutrimorii:il porrige and procured a
warran'. f.u' asjault and required a
pt ice bond. Pete vent buck on our

ase befor. E--q. D Frank ii.trrb i'.
Licking the indtity to pay cost, and
also signers to his bond tho Squire
turned him oyer to the tendur mer
